- Arts
Kathryn is a multidisciplinary artist who works at the intersection of sculpture, installation, drawing and photography. She expands works beyond their physicality using shadow, reflection, light, dimension, gesture, line, and space. Whether through her sculptures, outdoor installations, photography or ink drawings, revealing the underbelly, not veiling it, is her specialty,
From her Artist Statement, she writes, "As a plastic surgeon’s daughter, suturing and slicing come naturally after frequently observing surgeries. Sculptural materials are often twisted, tethered, stretched, and sutured, embodiments of human frailty and need for visibility beyond the aesthetic gaze."
She has received sponsorships from the European Cultural Center (2019), Ajuntament de Gandia (2020), European Cultural Academy, Council of Europe (2016), the Ministries of Art and Culture of France and Poland (2015, 2014), and the US Embassies (2015). Select awards include the United Nations Harmony for Peace Award (2010); Honorable Mention, Rocky Mountain Biennial 2020; Best of Show, Colorado History Museum (2010), and Best of Mixed Media, Artslant (’14-18).
